Cyphostemma

provided by wikipedia EN

Cyphostemma is a flowering plant genus in the family Vitaceae, with around 250 species distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics. These species are caudiciform and used to belong to the genus Cissus.[1] The genus name comes from Greek kyphos, meaning hump, and stemma, meaning garland.

Within the Vitaceae, Cyphostemma is most closely related to Cayratia and Tetrastigma.[2] All species of Cyphostemma were once included in the genus Cissus but are now considered to be distinct.[3]

Distribution

They originate from Northeast Africa to southern Arabia,[3] in particular from Madagascar through to Indochina.

Species

The largest species in the genus is the so-called "Mauritian Baobab" (Cyphostemma mappia), a case of "island gigantism".
